If you don't have the NAV system, why would you look for NAV lines?
Your backup camera will only come on in reverse and blind you.
Seems it picks up the backup lights and they blind you if you try to use it.
I'm going to experiment with some masking tape on each side.
Actually I don't need the camera, and wife can't backup.
So maybe just tape over it.

After additional research, I have found that the guideline feature is only available via the navigation unit. I'm sorry, but this feature is not available via the rearview mirror display.

I hope this information is helpful. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me.

Default Garmin

If you have a Garmin like mine.
It don't have to be as large as mine ( 7" screen).
It can be attached to the Garmin showing whats behind you.
The view can also be reversed.

Have heard the higher its mounted the better.
I don't have one yet, but will try mounting on rear of cab to stay away from the backup lights.
